Determine the empirical formula for compounds that have the following analyses. a. 28.4% copper, 71.6% bromine b. 39.0% potassium, 12.0% carbon, 1.01% hydrogen, and 47.9% oxygen c. 77.3% silver, 7.4% phosphorus, 15.3% oxygen d. 0.57% hydrogen, 72.1% iodine, 27.3% oxygen

See explanation

Explanation:

Cu- 28.4/63.5, Br- 71.6/80

Cu- 0.447/0.447, Br- 0.895/0.447

Cu- 1, Br - 2

Empirical formula = CuBr2

b)

K- 39.0/39, C-12.0/12, H- 1.01/1, O- 47.9/16

K= 1, C-1, H- 1. O-3

Empirical formula= KHCO3

c)

Ag- 77.3/108, P-7.4/31, O-15.3/16

Ag-0.716/0.239, P- 0.239/0.239, O-0.956/0.239

Ag-3, P-1, O-4

Empirical formula= Ag3PO4

d)

H-0.57/1, I- 72.1/127, O-27.3/16

H- 0.57/0.57, I- 0.57/0.57, O-1.71/0.57

H-1, I-1, O- 3

Empirical formula= HIO3

well in order to answer this question you have to provide more information < 3

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting
